Clearing Your Lungs When You Have COPD: Side

You can lie in different positions to help clear your lungs. To help
drain mucus from the sides of your lungs, lie on one side. Place two or three
pillows under your hips. Use a small pillow under your head. Rest your arms
where they are comfortable. Make sure your chest is lower than your hips. Use
belly breathing. After 5 or 10 minutes, switch sides.
